In this video Ken Estes claims that GDP is an Afghani Indica brought to NorCal from Vietnam during the 70s. Now if your crazy uncle traveled around the country in a microbus and went to crazy concerts and music festivals passing this cut around, it is very likely that this original cut could have been hoarded in basements and closets all around the country. (If the gardener was successful in making new cuttings each year.) It is also possible that this cut was renamed multiple times and the most popular names became more well known than others.
It is local rumor that GDP, Grape Ape, & Purple Urkle are just different phenotypes of the same strain. But it is my understanding that to create phenotypes you have to either feminize some seeds with a herm cut or outcross with something else. To express recessive genetics or to mix them with other genetics. In his video he says the cut he received was crossed with a skunk and bred for 22 years by the NorCal Native Americans. I think that's what he said. Either way the Native American who received the original Afghani cut (which he said came from an American GI smuggled back overseas) could have started with a clone that made its way all around the US. Could have.
Any GDP, Grape Ape, or Urkle farmers on here?
What do you think about the Genetics? Same plant with different names or just a few different crosses all with the same original ancestor?
This is my cut. It was sold to me as "double purple doja" which it is most definitely not.
Produces some of the largest fan leaves I have ever seen and grows extremely short and bushy.
Loves heavy sun, cold temps, and lots of wind. Hates heat and humidity. I've grown this plant in 35 degree weather indoors and watched it frost over outside and not die. Some crazy shit. Tastes like purple perfume when cured. (Yes it actually tells your brain you are smelling a color) Ripe on the vine you can pick up skunk and diesel smells. Small glandular heads but very potent. Amber Trichs. Pale seeds with lots of dark black striping.
